Weird (possibly malicious?) Problems with Dallas server?

This happened to me tonight, nothing I tried would get rid of it, so I ended up having to do a clean install of windows....sigh.

 

Really hope the site devs are on this, so that more people don't fall victim to this

I just downloaded this file myself. Wasn't paying attention to what sever I was downloading on Oblivion Nexus. But I was able to quickly spot it.

 

I deleted the program as soon as I discovered I downloaded it. Running a full system scan with AVG as I post.

 

Good luck with hunting down this hacker!

 

Edit: Typos.

From Voodoo McGee's post on the Nexus News forum about this topic

 

There is a link on that post that will take you to a page that shows which AVs actually catch the virus--unfortunately, very few do (and AVG isn't one of them, apparently.)

 

No worries. A reddit post actually brought this to my attention, and provided a link to some pretty awesome anti-malware software, called "Malwarebytes Anti-Malware."

 

Thankfully my system wasn't compromised. But thanks for sending me more info :).

Hi! I've always downloaded from Dallas because it was quicker, and I got an (alleged FBI) demand to pay money (obvious scam) which blocked my side of Dad's computer from then on.

 

So I ran an anti-virus thingy and it said:

Trojan.Generic.KDZ.11579 (virus)

(End of quote)
I'll be far more cautious from now on!
